The stunning grounds of Bolesworth, Cheshire are gearing up to host family fun Dark Run.

On the evening of Saturday October 25th, Bolesworth – the historic Cheshire estate renowned for hosting world-class equestrian competitions, live concerts and spectacular public events – will provide the backdrop for the colourful and family-friendly Dark Run in aid of local children with life-threatening conditions.

Proudly sponsored by RUK Group, the Dark Run is an evening 5k or 2.5k fun run, walk or even dance where participants are encouraged to wear bright, neon or even spooky Halloween costumes.

With a lit course and energetic group warm-up, the event promises fun for all the family whilst raising funds to support local children living with a life-threatening condition.

Set to the soundtrack of upbeat music and passing through many historic sights, the course offers a night to remember with a great cause at its heart.

Marketing and Business Development Manager for Bolesworth, Vanessa Kenny, shared: “We’re delighted to welcome the Dark Run to Bolesworth.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring families and the community together in a fun and vibrant way, while raising vital funds for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith.

“We look forward to seeing participants of all ages enjoy a unique evening in our beautiful grounds for such a special cause.”
